Several students packed the Kennedy room at UNCC for their final Anthropology lecture on their last day of classes. Their professor, Adam Johnson, had his students giving team presentations when the 22-year-old walked in and began shooting.

Drew Pescaro was one of the four students injured that night and has been in the hospital ever since. Family members said Pescaro has undone two surgeries but is now alert and recovering.

Monday night, Pescaro tweeted a video of him taking his first steps from inside the hospital. His first steps since he was injured by the gunman on UNCC campus.

"Took my first steps without a walker today so I felt the need to share it with everyone," Pescaro wrote.

Pescaro also thanked his mother for her constant support in a sweet Mother's Day tribute. The post read:

I can’t say enough about my Mom who has been supporting me through this whole process. So much time has been devoted towards getting me better and she has been at the head of all of it. I love her very much.

Since the deadly shooting, Pescaro has been visited by a handful of Panthers players as well as receiving a personal Facetime call from one of his idols, Tim Tebow.
